My favorite character in literature is Annie in Don’t You Wish by Roxanne St. Claire. She changed from wanting to be rich to wanting to go back to her old life . At the beginning of the book, she was always complaining how her dad likes to invent tons of useless stuff, and that she wanted to be popular. Then, when she changed lives with Ayla, she realized that being popular was awful, and all she wanted was to go back to her other life. For example, one of the reasons she really hated being Ayla, was that she didn’t have a good relationship with her family. When she was Ayla, her parents were getting a divorce, because her dad had an affair and he was never around, but her dad didn’t want to go through with the divorce. Ayla didn’t want to get them back together, but she had lost her mom’s trust and her mom thought that Ayla was spying for her dad, but she wasn’t. Since her family didn’t really trust her, she only had her friends, and her friends didn’t even trust her. When she was with her friends, she was expected to be mean to everyone who wasn’t popular. Considering when she was Annie, she had experienced being bullied because she wasn’t popular. While Annie was being Ayla, she had been nice to people who weren’t popular, and her friends had basically left her because she was nice to people. Like when she was in the bathroom, her friends had cleared everyone out, and were really mean to the girl who was in band, but Ayla said they could stay, and because she said that, her and her friends had a fight. So I think that since Annie experienced what it was like to live in a big house, and be popular, she was ungrateful in the beginning, and at the end, she was glad to have a father who invents things, and is around all the time.
